You want to start the VM after you log on to your machine, or during boot? If it's after you log on, add a launcher to your sessions with the start command. Please see the manual for more info on how to use command line functions. If you want a pure fullscreen VM, without the extra options of the GUI it uses by default, you can use VBoxSDL -vm "vm name" -fullscreen.
